| Counting Crows – Daylight Fading Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Most of his songs are about relationships, but I think this one is about dreading going on tour. All the stuff about leaving, saying goodbye to everyone. All the anger and eloquence that come with recording are bleeding into the fear of performing. The part that sells me though, is "come and waste another year," which seems like how touring would feel. You leave all your relationships for a year, again, and don't really grow at all. He doesn't want her to wait for him, because he knows how a tour can kill a relationship. I know this interpretation sounds too practical, but he's said that his songs are often over-interpreted. | |
